Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Nifty began the session on a negative footing and retested the key intraday support zone near 25,900, where selling pressure from index heavyweights was effectively absorbed despite elevated Put Open Interest. The index rebounded from the day’s lows but remained confined to a narrow consolidation range due to the absence of sustained buying momentum. 
 

Repeated recoveries faced rejection in the 26,050–26,100 zone. A decisive breakout and close above this range would be required to revive momentum and open the path toward the 26,300–26,350 resistance band. The index settled within its consolidation zone, reflecting a balance between buyers and sellers. Technically, the structure remains constructive as long as 25,900 holds, with the next directional bias likely to emerge only after a clear range resolution.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Indian equity markets ended almost unchanged after a volatile day. While markets recovered most of their intraday losses, gains were limited as selling pressure and selective buying balanced each other. Investors preferred to consolidate after last week’s rebound. Continued selling by FPIs weighed on sentiment, with nearly ₹18,000 crore withdrawn from equities in the first half of December. This

capped any strong upside. 

 

At the same time, steady inflows from domestic mutual funds and pension funds helped limit downside risks. Sentiment in insurance and financial stocks improved after the Union Cabinet approved a proposal to allow 100 percent FDI in insurance companies. This reform is expected to attract long term foreign capital, strengthen balance sheets, and support future growth, leading to interest in listed insurance stocks. Aviation stocks, especially Indigo, outperformed on stock specific buying. Consumer focused stocks showed some strength, while autos and select cyclical stocks faced profit taking, keeping the overall market flat.

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Market expert view

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Persistent foreign fund outflows and a weak rupee have kept markets in a narrow range, with currency volatility likely to continue until clarity emerges on the India–US trade deal.

Expectations of an earnings recovery in H2FY26, supported by monetary and fiscal growth drivers, are helping stabilise sentiment. Going forward, market momentum is expected to be earnings-led rather than valuation-driven. Investors are also awaiting key economic indicators, including US CPI inflation and unemployment data, which will shape global liquidity expectations and the interest rate outlook for 2026.
